I wouldn't have thought it was too many. Doesn't say a great deal for this year's renewal. The race seems to have declined over the years. Perhaps it needs a Mill Reef to wake it up again?
I haven't backed it, but I would like to see Arapaho Gold win. Noted it first time, and contemplated backing it at 100/1 for the Norfolk. I assume 365 knew he wasn't going to run.
Pleasing result. Especially so, given Doyle trying very hard for the bookmakers. O'Brien horse out with the washing. Not the strongest race, but the winner has probably won with a little bit in hand.
